To all whom it may concern Be it known that-I, ANDERS H.: NiisHEIM,

mountedat its top to the window frame andA adapted to be swung either inwardly-,onontwardly, for example, like a storm window or a basement window. Y One -of the objects of the invention is to provide novel means for pivotally mounting the sash frame on the window frame of suchy construction that none of the ordinary" hinges' or pivotalconnections commonly used need be employed.

In its preferred form the invention contemplates av'window frame yhaving aftop member and a sill member which are connected by vertically extending side members and a more specic object of the invention is to provideflanges on'said side members whichY are provided adjacent the'ltop' member withl horizontally disposed shoulders, in combination with' afsa'sh yframe having out-turnedflanges adapted to overlap the respective flanges on said side members, the out-turned flanges `being'pr'ovided with back- Wardly and horizontally extending'portions v a horizontally extending angle bar 12 fdisvposed so, as to provide a horizontal flange V12a and a depending vertical flange 12". The

sidesof the sash frame include an angle bar 13 adaptedto ,rest ',on said shoulders so that the sash frame "will be pivotally' Vmounted with respectto'the window frame.

A further object of the invention is to the above statedobjects; and such o ther'ob-.V`

This invention relates to improvements in providea sash frame having Z-shaped members at its sides and bottom, the members Vat Theinvention consists in the novel cornv jects as will appearv from the following de- ,"s PATENT FFlCfE ooiviPANY, or WAUKESHA, wisconsin-A coa- Scriptionof a certain preferred embodiment illustrated in the*l accompai'iyingi drawings, Y

wherein-.-

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on'vthe line 2-2 of Fig. 1,; H

Fig. 3 is asectional view, on an enlarged scale, taken on the line `3---3 of Fig. 1;

Like characters of reference designate like` parts in the several views.V

Referring now tothe drawings, the window frame includes a horizontally extend'- ing inverted channel.m ember 8 at the top and a similarly extending inverted channel sillmember 9 at the bottom, saidsill mem-V ber'preferablyj being formed of angle irons 9afand 9", the horizontal flanges yof'which l i overlap, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 6,

andare vwelded 1 together. Verticallyjex- 4tending side members 10` are connected at. their upper endsto the top member' 8 and Tat' theirlower ends to the sill member 9. The side membersV 10 include an F-shapedbar 11 havingaflange portion l1a and a flatportion 11b Welded thereto, fsee particularly` Fig.l 5. l

The sash frame isprovided at its top with having a flange 13a and a flange 13", and also anangle bar lll having aQiiange 14ga anda flange 14D, said flanges 13"l andi` 14 being welded together, thus providing substantially Z-shaped members at the sides of the sash frame.

flange 15a and a horizontal flange 15b, also flange 16a and a horizontal flange 16",y said flanges 15b and 16b being welded together Thefbottom of the, sash frame Y includes an angle bar 15 having a Avertical' an angle bar 16 having a Vertical depending.-

ing center member 17. Panes of glass 18 are disposedagainst'the lflange 12b of the angle bar 12, the flange 15a of the angle bar 15, the flange 13a of the angle bar 13 and against a suitable flange (not showniprovided on theV center member 17, being held; thereagainst by any suitable means, for example,

putty 19. Y

It will now be apparent, when the sash frame is in thepositionshown in Fig. 1,

ythat'the` iianges 14a ofthe Z-shaped side Y member of thesash.v frame will overlap theY flange 11L of the respective/'side window frame members 1v1, as Clearly shown in Fig.v 5, valso that the depending flange 16a of the Z-shaped bottom member of thesasli frame will overlap the vertically disposed flange of the angle bar 9b which forms a portion of the sill member. In order to pivotally sup'- port the sash frame onl the window frame, the flanges 11L ofthe angle bars 11 are formed Y adjacent.their upper ends with horizontally disposed shoulders 20, and the upper ends of the Hang-es 14@ are bent baokwardly to provide substantiallylhorizontally extending portions 21, see Figs'. 3 and 4, which are adapted to rest-V upon the shoulders 20. As 'clearly shown in Figs. P3 and 4:, the angle bar 12 extends to eachA side of the sashframe suiiic-iently so thatI the extremities of the flange 122L there- .v

of overlap'and rest upon the horizontal portions 21 and are weldedthereto thereby pro viding arigid and strongly reinforced construction at ythe upper Vcorners of the sash y frame. Wear plates22 are preferably disposed underneath' the respective horizontal portions 21, being welded thereto so that the horizontal portion 21 will 'not beweakened by wearing away by reason Vof the ,swinging of the' sash frame on the shoulders 20. The Vflanges- 11b of the angle bars 11 are yeut away.

. in its closedvposition, in that event the niembers 24 are bent outwardly at their upper ends, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3, to

provide for swinging of the sash frame. The

sash frame may be locked in its closedposi- 'tion in any desired'manner, for example, by'al latching member 25 pivoted on the sash frame and Vadapted to engage behind a suitable keeper 26 fixed to the sill member 9 of the window frame. Y

It will be apparent from the foregoing description that a window 'constructed according to this invention will be inexpensive to manufacture, strong and vdurablefand oiiein `v which the sash frame maybe vv'freely swung Y relative Yto kthe window frame without the use of any special Yhinges orpivotal connections. l Iclaim: j 1 1.
